WHERE is my motivation?!
-
Real talk 🗣
Seriously, I have not been myself lately. I feel like everything is hard, I can’t be bothered. I feel like I have one good day and two ‘off’ days (not bad, just...off)!
-
Now for me this doesn’t mean I don’t exercise or I go on a bender & eat like shit....moving my body & eating mostly nutritious whole foods is simply ingrained in my routine, my mind, my biology! I’ve still be doing those things just out of habit but it has felt hard. Mentally I’ve been elsewhere!
-
On the 12th of Feb I started my #50dayreenergisechallenge with the aim to do just that, re-energise my motivation & kickstart that fire within. But I literally only lasted about 16 days before I threw in the towel, I just wasn’t ‘feeling’ it. I’ve literally just forgotten about it which is SO unlike me 🤷🏼‍♀️
-
But as I sit here writing this I know that It’s OK! I hold myself to such high standards all the time & obviously this is just not the time for me to be doing a challenge. Mentally I’m not there 🤷🏼‍♀️ Again, that’s OK! (👈🏻 It’s literally taken me a while to digest this).
-
So, what now?! Well this is it. Just living each day. Yes moving my body & eating predominantly whole nutritious foods, but that’s the everyday me. My focus is now on just getting my mojo back.
-
I know I’ve said it before, but NO I’m not always motivated- and this is the perfect example. I also always say #mindsetmatters and again, this is the perfect example.
-
I’m SURE there are many others out there who can relate...if this post even makes sense?! Anyway, hoping to feel like me again soon. But for now, you’ve got the Vanessa that’s trying hard. That’s still turning up even though she doesn’t always feel like it. That’s hoping for her motivation to show up one of these days ✨

Breakfast today was this bowl of #zoats with banana, kiwi, date, raspberries and blueberries! 🥣🍌🥝 Can’t wait for all those summer fruits to come back as I’m basically having the same breakfast every day now 😩😭 Anyways today’s been pretty okay! I’ve got weigh in tomorrow though and I’m preeetty nervous because I know must’ve gained some weight BUT I’m more than my weight so it really doesn’t matter 💁🏾‍♀️ I’m still nervous though 😅 I’m gonna ask my mom to really keep a close eye on me as I think following my meal plan is gonna be hard tomorrow! But I’m determined to do it!!! I hope you’re all fighting with me! ❤️

Have started reading the Bible and doing some daily religious studying. I'm not a super "religious" individual, however, I do believe in God and have Faith. I know He has helped me through a lot and has saved me. He has a purpose. Today's Devotional really struck home as I have had and still do have internal challenges with food and body image.
I am learning to accept where I am at and although at times I want to just give up, I tread all the powers of darkness down, and win the well-fought day. #edsurvivor

I remember that ache in my soul like it was yesterday... .
.
I remember sitting in countless Drs offices being told I have this, I have that, you don't have this, ok you do have it... The tears, the pain, the tests, the needles, the surgeries, the hope, the hopelessness, the anger, the sadness, the prayers... I don't talk about this often because it's something that we've been private about but I want to be honest! .
.
They are gifts from God! .
.
We went through so much for years... Being told not even a year after you've been married at age 23 that you're in menopause & you probably won't ever have children unless you start NOW, was shocking, devastating, soul crushing... But, I can honestly say, we survived. We fought and God delivered and our prayers for our family come true 5 years later. It wasn't the way we planned in our heads, but it's definitely shaped who I am as a person, a wife & a mother. I am thankful for the journey we've been on and looking back, wouldn't have it any other way. .
.
It was 9 years ago today that these two little people entered our lives and we've never been the same since! They complete us!

Did you know there are 1 in 8 couples who suffer infertility? If you are one of them, please know you're not alone on your journey.

Maybe you see what you believe to be another quick fix.
Maybe you see a supplement you believe you don’t need. .
Maybe you see something you don’t understand. .
Maybe you see something you’re calling bullshit. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Maybe you’ll be proved wrong like me - cause I thought that way for a little while when I saw all these transformation. .
But what I see, is a new way to live. A BETTER way to live. .
.
- I see women taking back their confidence. - I see moms fitting back in their pre-pregnancy clothes. - I see moms handling sleepless nights, and mom brain like a thing of the past. - I see people getting shit DONE because they’re finally able to focus multi-task, and be productive. - I see fitness lovers finally breaking the plateaus in their performance after months of racking their brain on meal plans & diets. - I see women finally feeling pure bliss, happiness, and mood changes no matter what life throws their way. .
These tiny packages, could change it all. .
Start with a 10 day test drive of them just like me....and see where you can go, feel and see the difference. .
Speak now and get started on your journey.👇🏻

This year was my second @neda walk! Not only was I able to walk it but I was able to help put it together! An amazing group of women that work with EDNCF invited me with open arms to be a part of their team that made this whole walk and so much more happen! It’s really a dream come true to work along side these women and to be a bigger part of the walk this year! The three of us even preformed on the stage together! Jonathan, thank you from the bottom of my heart for waking up at 6:30am to come out and preform with me this morning! Nicole, singing that song with you had over whelmed me with emotions and I’m so happy that you came on that stage with me!
5 years ago I wouldn’t have believed you if you said I was going to do all of these things! I’m SO thrilled to be where I am in my recovery process and so thankful to everyone who has been by my side supporting me along the way 💙☘️ I am more then my disorder! #neda#nedawareness#nedaawarenessweek#nedawalk#nedawalkorlando#orlandonedawalk#edncf#edsupport#edsurvivor#eatingdisorderrecovery
